A Huge Thank You!
Last week saw us come face to face with the 'Beast from the East'. Unlike many other forms of employment, as home care providers it is not an option for us to stay indoors and not provide the service our customers so deserately need. The incredible level of team work, determination and compassion shown by care and office staff carried us through this some what tricky period. The directors have recognised the performance of all working staff over the past few days and have funded small gestures of gratitude (see image) and sent out the following message.

Dementia is on the rise, but positivity can extend quality of life
This morning Victoria Derbyshire of the BBC conversed with individuals about the all important topic of dementia. Veronica spoke of how her husband no longer remembers her name, and although she has hard days she still remains positive and leads a full life with her husband Christopher. Wendy speaks of her struggles to answer the phone due to her dementia, and therefore questions why services such as hospitals still require patients to ring up and make appointments as this greatly confuses people like Wendy. Despite this concern Wendy says life with Dementia can still be full of life and laughter - here at Bluebird Care we agree with her. Finally ex head teacher Keith tells his heart breaking story of how his dementia has led to him becoming depressed, as activities such as reading prove more difficult for him. With the number of individuals living with dementia expected to be at 1.3 million in the UK by 2050 we feel it is important to re-iterrate the message many of the individuals speaking on Victoria Derbyshire expressed today. Whilst living with dementia can be incredibly sad and lonely for both the sufferer and those around them, it doesn't have to be all bad! Through positivity and encouragement, a high quality of life can be pro-longed as Wendy showed in her story. Click read more to read further into the stories of those on the programme today. If you need any advice or support regarding dementia support please do not hesitate to contact your local Bluebird Care today.
